A&D Transactions For Week Ending - January 10 2020

For the week ending January 10, 2020.  We saw oil price see-saw, rising on Monday as a result of Tension between the U.S. and Iran.   Then by mid-week, 1/8/2020. 

 

EOG Resources made a big splash this week with the announcement that it sold half of its N. Delaware saltwater disposal assets.

The oilfield water space is getting interesting with more E&Ps evaluating selling these assets to raise cash.

Here we take a closer look at the strategies other E&Ps (Cimarex, QEP, Devon and more) are taking in regard to their midstream water strategy and and how that could help them enhance liquidity.
